AI Observability for Technology Leaders dealing with AI sprawl

Your Splunk shop was scoped for a pre-agent world

Your org has AI agents in production. But you're not geared for AI observability yet, and you're wondering how to get there.

The Agentic Elephant in the Room

3 questions boring a hole in IT and security leaders’ minds right now

Even if they’re not saying it, they’re thinking it:

1/ VISIBILITY

“I don’t actually know what our agents are doing in production”

2/ COST & RETENTION

“Agent telemetry will 10x my ingest if I just send it to Splunk”

A retention misconfiguration discovered late becomes a board conversation.

3/ SECOPS

“I can’t prove what our agents did and didn’t do”

Audit trails, identity attribution, and incident response were built for human users and known services, not agents.

The bitsIO AI O11Y Framework

Not just theory. A practical guide with actual steps you can take today.

AI Observability is 2 things: Getting visibility of your agents, and getting visibility for your agents, so they can automate operational workflows intelligently.

Here’s a glimpse into the framework:

Most agents fail before the model ever runs

Data quality, schema contracts, and retention decide what your agents can be trusted to reason from. The framework sequences the foundation work most teams skip.

Detection without context is just more noise

Baselines, alert policy, and SLOs scoped for AI workloads. So your team and your agents respond to the right signals and ignore the rest.

Autonomy without guardrails is a liability, not a feature.

Run books codify action, guardrails enforce safety, humans stay in the loop where judgment belongs. Automate the right things in the right order.
